Boredom Busters Dog and Puppy services had a huge attendance for their first dog show yesterday.
The event was in aid of Friends of Wallace Kennels in Brentwood and saw more than 100 visitors with 73 dogs entered for the six categories including: Best in Show, Most Handsome Dog, Golden Oldie, Best Puppy, Best Cross Breed and Prettiest Female.
Organiser Linda Ward, 42 of Pilgrims Hatch, said: "I've never organised anything like this before and I was so nervous.
"But it went really well there was way more dogs entered than I thought there would be. I'm just looking forward to organising it next year and raising even more money."

Holly Ditchman, 22, of Woodford won Best Puppy with Dougie, six months, who is a Puggle - a cross between a pug and a beagle.
She said: "It was a really lovely day with my nan and granddad. Dougie loves to go to the park and loves to learn. He's so obedient; when he's old enough I'm going to train him to be a therapy dog, so he's got a lot to do."
Fiona Mordrick, 52 from Ongar, took Radison, four, a colly-cross with a springer and he won Best Cross-Breed.
She said: "He loves to chase rabbits and run in general. It was a really lovely day, I've been to a lot of shows before but this won was really good."
